Workplace wellness is an organizational commitment to activities or programs that support healthy behavior in the workplace which in turn improve the health outcomes of employees.

Workplace wellness programs are as unique as the organization. Programs can consist of a variety of activities such as:

Health fairs

Health education

Medical screenings

Health coaching

Weight management programs

Wellness newsletters

Subsidized memberships to fitness centers

On-site fitness programs

Tobacco cessation programs and other health education programs

Workplace wellness programs can also include organizational policies designed to facilitate employee health including allowing flex time for exercise, providing on-site kitchen and eating areas, offering healthy food options in vending machines, holding “walk and talk” meetings, and offering financial and other incentives for participation. Generally workplace wellness encompasses the overall creation of a “culture of health” within the work site.

Investing in workplace wellness programs reduces employer’s costs. A review of scores of published studies on work site wellness found that the Return on Investment is $3.48:1 due to reduced medical costs and $5.82:1 due to reduced absenteeism. Source: The Center for Work and Health, 2003.

Unlimited fitness classes are available to all members, as they are included with the membership. Non-members can take a class by purchasing a daily pass. With the purchase of a daily pass, it gives access to the entire facility as well as unlimited fitness classes.

To schedule with a personal trainer there are just a few steps towards your first appointment.

All paperwork must be filled out and turned in at the control desk at either DRC or OAC.

You can either print the forms from the personal training page or get the forms from the control desk at either DRC or OAC.

Fill out all the forms and return with payment to either location.

If you know which personal trainer you want, you will need to write that on the top form. If you don’t know which trainer to choose, the fitness coordinator will review your health questionnaire and availability and choose the trainer that will work best for you.

After reviewing your information, the personal trainer will contact you and schedule your appointment.

The DRC has received input from customers that they would like a site that is easier to navigate and to register for programs. The DRC is retiring registration software it has used for over ten years for a more modern package. The new software is much easier for the user to locate and register for programs and memberships.

The DRC has elected to update each account individually because this is the most secure method to transmit your personal and financial data into the new system. Additionally, many of our customers have been with us for years and their account information like pictures and addresses are outdated. With our new software, we have added more options for payment with auto bank draft in addition to credit and debit cards.

If you and/or your family are current DRC members an account has been created for you in the new software package, you will receive an email from the DRC with a user ID and password. Please click on the link provided in that email to update your account information. If you have missed that email for any reason please contact Guest Services for assistance.

Yes. Prior to this change, customers had to register in person for programs that required proof of age like swimming lessons and sports leagues. Customers requesting scholarships still need to do that in person at our Guest Services desk.

Yes. Your auto pay membership will still continue, but set up in the new software is required. Go online to update your financial information or stop by Guest Services and they will be glad to update it for you.

Yes. Unsinkables students require supervision in the locker rooms to get changed and out to the pool area. Most teachers are female so the program particularly needs male parents/guardians to assist in supervising program particpants in the locker room area. Please contact Aquatics staff at 788-3781 or your child's teacher if you are able to assist.
